Preliminary setup for calibrating an RW IM 3.0

The irony meter is a device used to detect irony, hypocrisy, and bovine scatology in a discussion. They are quite often used online, and are notorious for poor build quality, as they are constantly breaking -- or even exploding.

Well!

The RationalWiki Irony Meter v. 3.0 is now available to the intrepid DIYer. (And soon, at your local Best Buy! We'll give you a run for your garage rent, Mssr. Jobs!)

It features a double-log scale to allow measurement of even the most egregious levels of conventional meter-busting irony, special protection circuits, and pre-processing protection against overloads. Yet, it can still clearly register over an amazing level of the simpler 1-10 irony points encountered on silly blogs, to the 10-1000 level encountered at intelligent design screeds - and yet still accurately report, and not break, at the 10,000 - 1,000,000 level when some people claim to be against censorship.

Schematics

To follow shortly.

Also available are ready modifications to most commercially available, but rather compromised, irony meters.
